Nitto Neo Gen

The Neo Gen® is an all-season ultra-high performance radial specifically engineered for lowered vehicles. Because the inner shoulder is one continuous block, the tread maintains stability on lowered vehicles with higher degrees of negative camber. This stability reduces tread flex and allows the tire to wear more evenly. The result is a tire with prolonged performance* on lowered vehicles.

Ive run these tyres for about 6 months now and still impressed.
I run a 205-40 on a 8.5" front and a 225-40 on a 10" rear.
These tires are smooth, fairly quite and good traction in the dry.
My rain traction isn't the best, but im thinking its because of my stretched setup. Saying that i haven't be able to kick the rear out and i drive hard.
Overall throughts on the tire is: If your gonna stretch, camber or beat them up. Id say this is a great tyre. I don't think they are a good track tire. Thats hwere the Nitto NT05 and NT01 come to play.

These tires were brand new when I purchased my Cobalt SS Turbo with 42k miles. I had used Nittos before on my truck, but I have to had it to them, they make some great performance tires! I have done some autocross racing, but most of my driving is 50/50 city/highway, with a bit of play thrown into the mix every once in awhile. These tires GRIP! I have put about 20k miles on them, and the tread isn't too bad yet. I'll probably have to get a new set sometime in the next year. But, mind you, I have raced my car and I like to use my launch control.

Wouldn't use them in the snow, but in New England, that's to be expected. Very good economy priced tire. Super sticky even under a tuned Mazdaspeed3 running 12.5-12.9 1/4's. I dont hit the track all the time but when I do they prove themselves. I drive 50/50 highway/city. Good from a dig and good from a roll. This was my first set of these and I plan on purchasing a couple more sets before they stop making them. Compare these to the stock tire a Mazdaspeed 3 comes with and its hands down for the Nitto's. What really surprised me was the crap/super expensive tires my car had from the dealer brand new

I use neo gens on my daily rim set up when not at the track. They grip like hell, smooth as butter on a daily basis and wear extremely well when negative camber is applied. (that of course is by design) Perfect tire for me because I almost never see snow where i am in NC and that's the only time I've ever had them break traction (other than driver error).
I would definitely recommend these to any of my friends or track day warriors! Especially if your riding low, and want a decent amount of grip, this tire is for you!
4th set now and wouldn't change unless due to necessity!
